Beyond the Frets is your chance to hear in-depth conversations with legendary guitarists, educators and composers about their process, struggles, accomplishments and thoughts on the modern music industry.  This week's episode features songwriter Abigayle Kompst, a fantastic up-and-coming talent based in Nashville. A recent graduate of Belmont University's historic songwriting program, Abigayle released her first EP "Vegas" in 2022. I had a blast talking with her about her musical upbringing, the songwriting process, and her ambitious goal of writing over 100 songs alone last year.
